The actress apparently had a tough time during the workshop of her upcoming film

Alia Bhatt is currently doing workshops to prep for her role in Gauri Shinde's upcoming film. If the latest buzz is to be believed, the actress, who is paired opposite Shah Rukh Khan, cried during one of the sessions.

Informs a source, `Alia is working with Gauri for the first time and was therefore unaware of the way she functions. It is only during the workshop that she realised that Gauri is a taskmaster. There have also been moments when a frustrated Alia cried because she could not get what the director had envisioned.`

She has completed the first schedule of the film in Goa in February and is prepared to shoot for the next schedule starting in May. The source adds, `During the first schedule too she had to take a lot of effort to ensure that the director is happy with her takes. But, now that she knows her well, she is prepared for the next schedule.`

However, when contacted Gauri rubbishes the report and says, "I wonder where this comes from."

Alia Batt also denies the rumour.
